Not My Review: Moby-Dick by Herman Melville
Now the title for this post is ‘Not My Review…’ and this post will not be my review – though in some ways it may be. I am currently making my way through the ‘novel (used loosely)’ known as ‘Moby Dick.’ In my opinion, it is an exercise in tedium, yet I am determined to finish the thing. I don’t have a good record for some of these so-called ‘classics.’ I am known for calling a good number of them ‘rubbish.’ This is bound to join that bunch, yet that maybe some time away still, as it is quite a chore to stick with it (and not an enjoyable one by any means).
Anyhow, here are a few book reviews of Moby Dick by Herman Melville.
